Cats and dogs are stereotypically thought of as sworn enemies, as in old sayings like “fighting like cats and dogs,” but many pet owners will tell you that these animals can actually get along great and be best friends.
And they have each other’s backs when things get dangerous. That was the case recently, when one cat fought off two coyotes to save her doggy sister.
Lane Dyer, of Edmond, Oklahoma, is the owner of two pets, a little white 6-year-old Havanese dog named Oakley, and a black cat named Binx, who showed up as a stray when she was two months old, according to KFOR.
Dyer told the outlet that the two animals were “polar opposites,” but still got along like family — a bond that was proven recently when one got into a life-threatening entanglement.
On November 30, Oakley was let out into the yard to use the bathroom, when suddenly a coyote appeared and attacked the little dog. Oakley was overpowered by the wild animal, and when a second coyote showed up it seemed like Oakley was doomed.
AND THE CAT SAVES THE DAY!
